International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has approved the H.265 video standard. The new High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) promises to lower the amount of bandwidth required to stream current MPEG-4 H.264-standard content by half, potentially allowing mobile devices to view HD content over high-speed wireless connections with little to no buffering required. Study Group 16 of […]
Representatives of the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom are refusing to sign a treaty relating to Internet governance.
